Mothers pull up in their Suburbans and Lexus SUVs at the entrance to their housing development. Even though the families live in perfectly safe, middle-class (or better) neighborhoods, parents feel the need to chauffeur their children the few blocks from the bus stop to home. Why? This behavior may be understandable if the child is 5 or 6. But at 8 or 10, this behavior is ludicrous and symptomatic of a dangerous infection that has spread throughout this country in the latest generation of parents. If not stopped, we may end up raising a whole generation or two of children who have little effective life coping skills and no connection or understanding to the world around them. If you’re ...

Manulife, a Canadian-based financial services company, apparently thinks so. Nathalie Blanchard, a 29-year-old IBM employee from Quebec, took a long-term sick leave from her job after being diagnosed with major depression. Her doctor told her to try & have fun, and to take a sunny vacation to get away from her problems. She did just that while she received monthly sick-leave benefits from Manulife. And she posted her vacation photos on her private Facebook profile. But recently, the monthly payments stopped. So, Blanchard contacted her insurance company to see w...

Alex’s birthday looms. Number 11th. The other day, I watched Jill and Alex walk away hand in hand in the park and he’s almost up to her neck. Amazing, considering he started at about the size of a G.I. Joe. Image: Spudballo, flickr.com We hold his birthday in Central Park, in a playground with a cozy gazebo (”cozy” meaning one point of access, and only one point to protect from Alex bolting). We decorate it, relatives come, maybe even a few friends from school this year. Amazing. Amazing too that I’m stumped for a gift this year. Last year the boys and I were building plastic kits, so I got him a three...

The choices; waffles, pancakes, 4 types of cereal with full fat or fat free milk, fruit, bacon, fresh bread, jam and several gallons of maple syrup. I forget the eggs but remember them just in time. I suspect I deliberately forgot the eggs because eggs are very complicated in America. I hate the egg question in a restaurant: “how would you like your eggs?”“Er…” The server will instantly recognize indecision and reel of a list of options all of which are completely incomprehensible. Once, in a moment of uncommon bravery I ordered ‘over easy.’ It was a mistake. 13 years later I am no further forwarder. I stick with what I know, poached. Maybe I could whip up a flip chart, icons of poached, fried or...

Started out with my cracked-addicted stepdaughter calling for money again. Her father turned her money request last night down. I’m trying by best to make him understand that he is not helping her by giving her money. He is being an enabler and that’s all. She came into my life when she was [...] (Source: bipolar chicks blogging) bipolar chicks blogging blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=551891 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 04:16:27 +0100 551891
